My uninformed guess as a non-murican would be that it's just zoned as a business.

I doubt there would be a special zoning category exclusively for strip clubs.

That varies from state to state, and even city to city.

Where I live "adult entertainment" businesses are forced in most cities to use industrial zoning, like in warehouse / factory districts.

In Texas, I guess it is a lot more restrictive, but most of those businesses are "grandfathered" in because they were built before the suburban areas got built up and the tougher zoning laws went into place.
